Ichthyofauna of the inner shelf of Paraná, Brazil: checklist, geographic distribution, economic importance and conservation status. Biota Neotropica. 18(2) e20170385. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2017-0385 Abstract: Comprehensive species checklists are essential to effectively implementing preservation and recovery measures, and should assess conservation status, vulnerability degree and anthropogenic threats. This checklist was compiled from fish species recorded in surveys conducted over the last 30 years in the shallow inner continental shelf in the State of Paraná, Brazil. Information on biogeography, conservation status, economic importance and degree of species’ vulnerability are provided. A total of 272 fish species were recorded, spanning 25 orders and 88 families. The most speciose family was Sciaenidae (25 species), followed by Carangidae (23), Engraulidae (10), Carcharhinidae (9), Epinephelidae (9) and Paralichthyidae (9). Most species occurring in Paraná’s shallow inner continental shelf are restricted to the West Atlantic. In terms of economic importance, 93% (253) of the species recorded were of fishery, aquaculture or aquaria interest. A notable fraction (39%) of the recorded species was classified as having moderate to very high vulnerability to extinction. In particular, 28 species (10%) were listed as globally endangered, and 34 species (12%) were listed as endangered in the Brazilian territory. Keywords: fish assemblage, species list, Southwest Atlantic, vulnerability Ictiofauna da plataforma interna do Paraná, Brasil: checklist, distribuição geográfica, importância econômica e estado de conservação Resumo: Listas abrangentes de espécies são essenciais para a implementação efetiva de medidas de preservação e devem avaliar o estado de conservação e o grau de vulnerabilidade das comunidades ecológicas. Esta lista foi compilada a partir de espécies de peixes registradas em pesquisas realizadas nos últimos 30 anos na plataforma continental interna rasa do Estado do Paraná. Foram fornecidas informações sobre biogeografia, estado de conservação, importância econômica e grau de vulnerabilidade das espécies. Um total de 272 espécies de peixes foram registradas, abrangendo 25 ordens e 88 famílias. A família com maior número de espécies foi Sciaenidae (25 espécies), seguida de Carangidae (23), Engraulidae (10), Carcharhinidae (9), Epinephelidae (9) e Paralichthyidae (9). A maioria das espécies registrada na plataforma continental interna do Paraná está limitada ao Atlântico Oeste. Em termos de importância econômica, 93% (253) das espécies incluídas nesta lista são comercialmente viáveis, seja na pesca, aquicultura ou aquariofilia. Uma fração notável (39%) das espécies registradas foi classificada como de vulnerabilidade moderada a muito alta. Em particular, 28 espécies (10%) estão listadas como ameaçadas de extinção em escala global, e 34 espécies (12%) estão listadas como ameaçadas de extinção no território brasileiro. Palavras-chave: assembleia de peixes, lista de espécies, Atlântico Sudoeste, vulnerabilidade.

In addition, the continental shelf contains several fish species of commercial importance. Data on fish species inhabiting the inner continental shelf of the State of Paraná were compiled from the peer-reviewed literature (Corrêa et al. 1986; There have been several studies on the fish fauna in the Paranaguá Chaves et al. 2003; Godefroid et al. 2004; Costa & Chaves 2006; Gomes Estuarine Complex (Hackradt et al. 2009; Félix-Hackradt et al. 2010; & Chaves 2006; Santos et al. 2006; Félix et al. 2007a; Félix et al. 2007b; Ignácio & Spach 2010; Contente et al. 2011; Passos et al. 2012; Pichler et al.

On the other hand, few studies Rossi-Wongtschowski et al. 2014, Santos et al. 2016) as well as less have focused on the continental shelf region, especially those assessing accessible academic literature (Santos 2006 and Carniel 2008 - master the taxonomic composition of the ichthyofauna (Santos 2006; Carniel thesis; Schwarz-Junior 2010 and Spier 2016 - PhD thesis) published over 2008; Schwarz-Junior 2010). Of concern is the threat to the region’s the past 30 years. The full extent of Paraná’s shallow inner continental fish biodiversity, most notably due to overfishing, deposition of dredged shelf was sampled down to the 20 m isobath, including areas near the sediments, habitat loss, and deployment of new habitats, such as artificial mouth of the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex and the Guaratuba Bay reefs, whose impact on biodiversity is not yet fully understood.

An updated checklist and characterisation of the ichthyofauna (Elasmobranchii and Actinopterygii) of the Laguna de Tamiahua, Veracruz, Mexico. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 48 (4): 341–362. Background. Laguna de Tamiahua is ecologically and economically important as a nursery area that favours the recruitment of species that sustain traditional fisheries. It has been studied previously, though not throughout its whole area, and considering the variety of habitats that sustain these fisheries, as well as an increase in population growth that impacts the system. The objectives of this study were to present an updated list of fish species, data on special status, new records, commercial importance, dominance, density, ecotic position, and the spatial and temporal distribution of species in the lagoon, together with a comparison of Tamiahua with 14 other Gulf of Mexico lagoons. Materials and methods. Fish were collected in August and December 1996 with a Renfro beam net and an otter trawl from different habitats throughout the lagoon. The species were identified, classified in relation to special status, new records, commercial importance, density, dominance, ecotic position, and spatial distribution patterns.

A species of fish with small, black spots and a yellowish-brown body, head and base of tail. On the anterior base of the dorsal fin and in the middle of the back are two or more white-rimmed, large, black spots. The eyes are large with a gold iris surrounded by a ring of black dots, and above each eye is a large projection (Fig. 1). The body is round and has the ability to inflate or expand. There are no pelvic fins; large pectoral fins without spines; nine caudal fin rays; few motionless, short spines covering the body and head. The teeth are fused and the nasal organ is a hollow, short tentacle with two openings. Size usually 15-30cm, but males can grow up to 38cm. Young fish up to 3cm inhabit the water column (Smith, 1997). DISTRIBUTION. Range is the Gulf of Mexico from northwestern Cuba, Florida Keys, south from Cape Canaveral along the U.S. coast, the Bahamas, the Caribbean Sea with the exception of the Cayman Islands.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

Checklist of marine demersal fishes captured by the pair trawl fisheries in Southern (RJ-SC) Brazil. Biota Neotropica. 19(1): e20170432. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2017-0432 Abstract: Demersal fishery resources are abundant on continental shelves, on the tropical and subtropical coasts, making up a significant part of the marine environment. Marine demersal fishery resources are captured by various fishing methods, often unsustainably, which has led to the depletion of their stocks. In order to inventory the marine demersal ichthyofauna on the Southern Brazilian coast, as well as their conservation status and distribution, this study analyzed the composition and frequency of occurrence of fish captured by pair trawling in 117 fishery fleet landings based in the State of São Paulo between 2005 and 2012.
